Asia Live 2026

Running for the full 16 days during school holiday, Haymarket is transformed to be a vibrant celebration of culture - the ASIA LIVE 2026 - proudly supported by City of Sydney!

Create memorable insta shots in the THE SANCTUARY from 4-19 April - illuminated Installations that invites visitors on a cultural journey through Asia.

Walk the path of Flowers of Asia through four ceremonial gates, each representing a different region of Asia through floral symbolism. These gates act as both entry points and storytelling moments, celebrating beauty, meaning and identity.

Immerse yourself in the Sanctuary of Asia — a sculptural illuminated garden featuring iconic cultural symbols such as the Japanese Maneki Neko lucky cat, Indonesia’s Barong, Korea’s Magpie on Tiger, Singapore’s Merlion, and many more.

The SUPER STAGE is both the opening and closing celebration of ASIA LIVE, taking place on Sat 4 April and Sat 18 April, from 6 to 9pm, across Dixon and Little Hay Streets.

It is not just a performance — it’s a gathering. It brings together large-scale traditional and cultural showcase and The Closing event featuring cross-cultural and contemporary Asian music and dance performances from both international and local Asian Australian artists.
